FFAers update human resource trends as Vietnam develops an International Financial Center

The workshop provides a foundation for UEFers to step into the investment world with confidence

Accompanying and sharing with students was Dr. Mohammad Hatta Fahamsyah – Lecturer at Pelita Bangsa University, Indonesia. Representing UEF were Dr. Do Huu Nguyen Loc – Vice President; Dr. Nguyen Kim Thoa – Deputy Director of the International Institute; M.A. Nguyen Thanh Lam – Vice Dean of the Faculty of Finance and Accounting (UEF); along with many students interested in investment.

A UEF representative presented a letter of appreciation to the speaker

Opening the workshop, Dr. Mohammad Hatta Fahamsyah analyzed the current economic context, highlighted common challenges that young investors often face, and explained why gold can serve as a “low-beta weight” within a portfolio. By comparing data between gold and interest-bearing assets such as deposits or bonds, the speaker helped UEFers recognize differences in volatility, performance, and risk across various market phases.

Beyond theory, the speaker guided students in reading and interpreting charts, identifying data correlations, understanding price risks in inflationary contexts, and applying performance metrics such as the Sharpe ratio (a measure of risk-adjusted return). Through these steps, UEFers progressively developed the ability to assess return quality and to build portfolios aligned with personal objectives and risk tolerance. In the final segment, the speaker emphasized core principles for beginners, helping students further strengthen confidence before entering the market.

Professional insights from Dr. Mohammad Hatta Fahamsyah helped students master market knowledge

Throughout the session, UEFers actively raised questions and discussed topics related to gold investment, safety considerations, allocation weights, and potential risks.

To help students better internalize the knowledge delivered, the speaker integrated practical examples and created opportunities for students to practice and apply concepts directly during the workshop. This enabled participants to accumulate additional professional knowledge and strengthen their ability to apply it in real-world contexts.

On-site hands-on activities helped UEFers grasp and deeply understand the knowledge

The workshop contributed to equipping UEF students with valuable professional knowledge—particularly the ability to evaluate asset performance in relation to market movements. This will serve as an important foundation for UEFers to progress confidently in finance and shape their future career directions.
